Um, I guess the "message" you're talking about must be the one that read something like: Sorry, server down for upgrade. Please try again in 30 minutes.
I just happened to catch it.

No, this message:
Please use AWADtalk at the new server now. Thanks.
in a box at the top of the welcome page in a pink box with a black border. New server is clickable.I found it there yesterday morning when I first looked at the Internet in the morning (how many others have AWAD as their homepage by the way?).

What welcome page? When I open AWAD, it just opens to the Main Index. And I haven't seen any pink since JazzO. sparked the re-design. And--how in the world do I make AWAD my Home Page, please? That sounds cool.

And--how in the world do I make AWAD my Home Page, please? That sounds cool.Since I can't quite remember how to do it on a Windows machine because I've switched to the superior OS, this link will show you how to make their page your homepage. All you have to do is substitue their's for http://www.wordsmith.org/awad. http://www.wmonline.com/newUser2.htmlIt will make it so AWAD is first page you see when you open the internet browser. It's not really as exciting as you might think.

and any one buying (getting) new hard ware will find with window 2K machine, the (and some machine before this..) there are buttons at the top of the keyboard.. they have silk screen designs for mail, home and search.. but they are programable.. (the mail icon open my mail server app, the home button open to company home page, and the last button i programmed to open AWAD)
a single button to open netscape and goes directly to AWAD.
pretty cool acutally-- the best is the 1.5 G clock, and a 20G hard drive!
(i am so old, i remember the first hard drive i bought was a 40K, and it cost almost $400-- and it wasn't even for me... it was for my son.. and i wasn't sure he needed that much hard drive space! Not when i was paying for it!)

Wow! Thank you Anu!!!!!!
Question for the board: does this new speed obviate or minimize the need for our general policy of avoiding chattiness? I happen to enjoy chatting, but I suspect there are other reasons for that policy beyond connectivity delays and costs.
May I ask for the voices of experience on this one? Thank you.

What, we are to avoid chattiness???? My goodness what happened while I was away. Chatting is half the fun. All right, who's been talking too much. Is shona back?
(ooo, he misses everybody and says hi, by the way)
